    I have to say I am extremely disappointed to see the same useless prizes on the wheel. I am so tired of getting the Picnic Bear and Ornamental Tree, they are useless to me as are most of the other prizes. However, I am even more disappointed with the same old prized on the JP spin. All I ever seem to get is more useless prizes, like seeds. I certainly won't be buying tokens to continue to get these type of prizes in the hope that I might place in the top 500 because Category 2 and 3 are also useless.

    Well I was impatient, so I bought one token so I could test my theory that even on a huge server like the US server you would still see a huge jump in rankings just by spinning 2 tokens.

    Here is what I found:

    Before spinning: Rank 7,031
    After one spin: Rank 7,030
    After two spins: Rank 3,213 (Ta da my theory was correct!)
    After four spins: Rank 1,807
    After eight spins: Rank 1,166

    And since I won three more tokens I spun those to and got to rank 596.

    So if you are on the US server and you are going for one of those top prizes, you gonna need to save your tokens up, or buy them with gold.
    Now I just need that 200% offer so I can get some gold to buy tokens...

    I'm sure you first get the bronze flag when the wheel disappear.... If you to that time still are in the top 500 wheel ranking!

    OK, thanks Brian! I must have missed that!

    Thanks for that info SuperSpaceGirl :)
    Unfortunately confirms it's only my suspicion that there must comprise at least 16 tokens just to get in the top 500, which giving double exp for 48 hours.
    - A reward I'm totally indifferent to, and which I therefore consider to be worthless!

    I bet that the 5 highest ranking in the wheel, also has a place on the server's top 10 list. (I'll not be surprised if they are in the servers top 5)

    right now I'm very jealous of top 5 players getting the different stable, but well i think they do deserve some nice prize for supporting the game so much, so i dont mind really about this update being a gold grab even.

    but I hope this brings a good future for all players later, meaning more events/etc that give free players/medium spenders a chance to get different stables too.

    saying this, I'm also sure alot players will be against the idea of different stables at first, because we may need to demolish our normal upgraded stables to make room for the new stables, but personally i think it'll be much more fun than keeping normal stables forever with no change at all, specially in high levels since money aint big deal anyway and demolishing etc wont matter much either, dollar-wise at least not gold-wise maybe though.

    Well, I spun the wheel - as stated before - 8 times and got my Jackpot price: the treehouse! Again: the treehouse!
    I have had nothing else than the treehouse, over and over again! I have 34 treehouses in storage (well, had them, because I built them up on a farm and demolish them immidiately for the money, to gain at least something from it)!
    I do not understand how you all get the hammock or scarecrow or even the goldticket - because for me there only seems to be 1 Jackpot price: the treehouse! ;(

    Better than my duckpond Jiesta lol ......another gold grabbing update i'm afraid. This is the kind of update you look at, shake your head, ignore, and keep farming in the hope that the next one will be better.

    Jiesta, you are very lucky since I have nothing but single rose seed packs and single sunflower seed packs. I'd take your tree houses in an instant. I have spun the wheel 32 times so far to see how high in the rankings I could get and regrettably I've gotten seed packs for each jackpot prize.

    FYI: I used 32 tokens and currently ranked at 368. The ranking marginally changes when you spin the next set of 8 tokens. I noticed it seems logarithmic, since as you go from the 1st spin of 8 spins, the ranking changes by like, 10 places. Not exciting to say the least. I can't even imagine how many tokens the top 5 have used to get there.

    Not a big fan of the update to be honest. I had 8 token saved up, as usual, and used them for the extra spin yesterday.
    I was ranked ~300 something for a while, but fast dropped to ~500. By now I am #944 (and dropping) and not amused. Didn't think it would be that impossible.
    Wish there was at least some reward for ranks 500 - 1000 and +1000. Even if it's just a stupid wooden flag and 50 XP for them.
    Cause this is again something for gold buyers to profit a little extra.
    It's kinda sad for non-gold-buyers.
    But I guess that's life. Those who have the means gets always the little extra something.
    So, I won't be too disappointed and simply pretend no update ever happened. Because that's pretty much how it is for many. :|

    I always get the Sunflower seeds in the JP spin. After huge amounts of wasted gold I finally managed to get the scarecrow, but not the hammock. :/

    Seems to be a serious bug With the update: When clicking on the-eight-spin-button, it doesn'nt give you the value of eight spins. Have been c heking it out for 30 minutes now - and the general counts given is two or Three.

    Bad, bad deal!

    I bet you have dropped big time in the rankings now Space Cat. I was ranked in the top 500 yesterday, today I'm ranked at 13101. Definitely just another deal for the big time gold spenders. Us little people don't stand a chance even if we do buy gold. Never, Ever!

    Well, some day 2 or maybe 3 years out in the future, I guess all the rich gold-users have filled up their farm with irish chicken coop, so to that time us the general poor rob also get a chance to grab one of the chicken coops?

    Well, overall I like the update. But at the same time earning those rewards will be hard. For example you have level 199 or so on with 100,000 gold. Who will buy token bags. So the little people like me have no chance.

    It would have been much better if they have added the irish chicken coop and the new deco into the bonus spin rewards. Tehn all players whould have the same tiny chance to win them.

    Yes, Hedggie, I dropped to #1519 within 10 hours.

    Of course it's good that people support the game with real money and so on, but but...
    I'm jealous because of the little extra something's I'll never have. :S

    I try not to bother. ;(

    Oh and btw I got 5 rose seeds from the jackpot spin :|

    if you got a bronze flag then you were nowhere near the top ten. i spent 50$ in tokens and ranked #30.i got the silver flag,leprechaun deco and double xp for 48 hrs. anybody who wants the irish coop should look forward to shelling out around 100$.

    Justbecaz, I think it is a glitch. I also got a message saying I was in the top 10 but I know that it was incredibly wrong since I placed 485th. So I got the XP bonus and the bronze flag.

    Dragonpride, thank you for posting your ranking. It is nice to have that information in case people plan to save up tokens to one day attempt a chance at placing in the top 50.

    Well, I received the bronze flag and the double XP. The problem is i'm not getting double XP. I just produced 200 chicken feed which normally gives me 40 XP, so I should have received 80 XP. I didn't, I received the normal 40 XP. So this reward is not working as far as I can tell.

    Hey Its Me4,

    each chicken food production gives 1 XP, so the 40XP you are seeing in the info menu are already including the bonus and everything is working as expected. I know it's a little confusing, but we have no way of showing temporary boosters in the info dialogue, that's why it's just added up there. :D

    Some of you have also mentioned that they were shown some wrong information about their rank. If you were in the 3rd winners bracket (top 500), this might have been the case. Please always check your rank at the top of the screen then, it will tell you your correct position in the ranking.

    Regards,
    Steffi

    This was one of the bugs (not the most crucial one) that were fixed with yesterday's maintenance. :)
